#Introduction time!

Hi, I'm Steve! I'm a giant, friendly teddy-bear-wolf-thing. Not new to the fediverse but new to this instance. I'm a former computer science professor living just outside of Pittsburgh, currently working towards earning my OSCP certification.

When I was in college I started with a comp sci major and minor in math. When I finished 5 years later, I had a math and comp sci double-major, and a philosophy and theatre double-minor. I went to grad school around the time of the dot-com bubble-burst, and got a MSci in comp sci, and got into teaching. 10 years later I went back to school for an MDiv in theology, and ended up going back to teaching comp sci. I've "joked" that I'm in my 40's and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

I'm married to @artemis and @owashii, and I'm the luckiest wuff ever because I have the bestest partners ever. =^w^=

I've a wide variety of hobbies and interests, including video games, hording books and vintage tech, and sewing/costuming. I use Pop!_OS, Kali, and Windows 10.

is better than emacs or nano. There, I said it.​

"While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." - Eugene V. Debs

This accurately describes something I've experienced. I think I've gotten better about it somehow, but sometimes I literally don't know what I'm feeling. Sometimes I"m like "I think I'm feeling this, but I'm not sure and I don't know why I would be feeling that way."

I played chapter 1. I'll eventually play chapter 2, but lately I just don't have the headspace for anything undertale.

Amazon has a really aggressive hiring campaign going on in my area. I'm half-tempted to try to get the job. I'm sure they need people with experience union-organizing.

I also very fondly remember the PC game The Dark Eye, based on the works of Poe and featuring Burroughs as a voice actor. That was fun.

Pleasantly surprised at the amount of books by Burroughs included with the Audible membership, although not Naked Lunch.

Back in the day, I remember listening to a version of Naked Lunch read by the author. That would be a cool thing to find again.

me: *headpats*
husband: don't patronize me.
me: *headscritches*
husband: Scritches are fine.

Oh FFS, Pittsburgh is having a St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday, expecting thousands to show up. Just what we need, a drunken super-spreader event.

Sure, I play DDR

Time zone is not set properly when I booted tails so I just looked at the clock on my desktop and was all like how the fuck is it almost midnight?!?

Answer: it's not.
